Qatar’s Lesha Bank said on Thursday its net profit attributable to shareholders for the first nine months of 2026 rose 50.2% to QR210.4 million.
That compared with QR140.1 million in the same period of 2025, according to data published on the Qatar Stock Exchange, the Qatar News Agency reported. Earnings per share rose to QR0.188 from QR0.125.
Total income rose 57.7% to QR399.5 million, the bank said.
Assets under management grew 101% from a year earlier to QR23.6 billion, helped by client inflows and capital deployment.
Total assets rose 29.7% to QR10.3 billion. Total investments increased 6.7% to QR4.6 billion, and total equity rose 4.8% to QR1.5 billion.
Return on average equity was 18.3% and return on average assets was 3.1%. Book value per share reached QR1.38.
“Our aim is to build an institution that does not depend on any single market or asset class, and the consistency of our performance reflects that approach,” said Chairman Sheikh Faisal bin Thani Al Thani.
Group Chief Executive Officer Mohammed Ismail Al Emadi said the bank had deployed capital selectively, managed existing holdings and “realized value where the timing was right.”
Lesha Bank is a Shariah-compliant investment bank authorized by the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority. Its shares trade on the Qatar Stock Exchange.
